The First of Many!
The first teapot is done and drying now! I'm really excited about this one. There are 7 pieces attached together to make this fun teapot: handle, spiral on the handle, lid, knob on the lid, body, spout, and the foot.
Likes: The carved detail, super tall foot, stylized handle, long, narrow spout.
Dislikes: Handle too thin, spout has all-of-a-sudden angle (i'd like it more gradual), foot might be too tall.
Overall: success! I like it so far. It has a feeling of exoticness. haha if that's even a word :). It makes me feel like if i had tea with this pot it would be for a special occation.
This teapot will probably dry for a week and a half then i'll bisque fire it, then glaze it. I'll upoad more, nicer, pics when it's finnished and glazed.
Anyone have any ideas for glazing options??
i have a few....but am open to suggestions :). I want to utilize the carved lines for someting. I was thinking black but i have a new light blue and alabaster glaze i'm dying to try out.
